Solaris

Hi all, recently I took over the admin task for a solaris 5.10 machine. Being a little bit familiar with debian systems Solaris is up to now a complete mystery to me. The first thing I would like to have is a graphical diskspace analyzer. I mean something like BaoBab under gnome. I there a "standard" tool for this under Solaris 5.10? df and du are not suitable because I need to present the results to my boss, so it really needs to be graphical. Any help is appreciated.

If you can summarize disk usage (du -sk /*/* or the like) and dump it in a spreadsheet, it can be graphed. It all depends on how you want to categorize usage: putpose, ownership, or just space used. You need df to find available space, you need to decide if hard links counted more than once is a problem, you need to decide if you want to cost in bytes or pages. I believe du and find have options to stay on one device. Sometimes, it is informative to find really large files as well as subtree summaries, depending on your focus.

just found out there is some kind of a gnome-desktop installed on the machine and thus a little program called jdiskreport which does just what I was looking for.
